Too much talking from has bins and Jim Nance wantabees. How about showing more golf and less talk.

As a avid gold fan I look forward to watching the PLAY. Your producers seem to think that we want to watch the announcers and commentors. That is not the case. Please spend less air time on the commentators and more on the golfers.

Would someone remind Mike Tirico that Amateur Johnny Goodman won the US Open in 1933. The commentators brains are writing checks that their mouths can't cash!

next time to make a coverage, make sure it's live in the west coast, you guys suck!!!!

You need to be televising more current golf than showing Tom Watsons round over and over. Don't keep showing past tournaments. Bottom line, stay with the current tournament.

Why in the world did you just spend 10 minutes air time watching Tiger look for his ball. I want to see the leaders.
